South Carolina EPSCoR Advanced Development Program

南卡罗来纳州的激励竞争性研究实验计划(EPSCoR)将提高克莱姆森大学和南卡罗来纳大学8个研究领域的59名目标教员的研究竞争力。这八个研究集群集中在生物科学、材料科学和计算科学领域。它们是：(1)分子遗传学、基因组图谱和基因操纵；(2)分子和种群生物学计划；(3)高速数字神经网络；(4)全球研究变化：结合观测和建模方法；(5)纤维及其复合材料的微观力学；(6)南卡罗来纳大学的材料科学；(7)通过化学合成的创新：新型分子和材料；(8)工业数学倡议。南卡罗来纳州EPSCoR有三个主要目标，以永久改善该州的教育和研究环境。它们是：教师发展、人力资源开发、国家/行业/大学S与E；E利益的桥梁。战略包括增加10名新教师，6名分类支持人员，每年支持40名研究生，以及扩大州EPSCoR委员会。南卡罗来纳州、其机构和私营部门为这项为期三年的EPSCoR努力提供了600多万美元的非联邦配套资金。

The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) in the state of South Carolina will enhance the research competitiveness of 59 targeted faculty working in 8 research areas at Clemson University and the University of South Carolina. The eight research clusters are concentrated in the areas of biological sciences, materials science, and computational sciences. They are: (1) Molecular Genetics, Genome Mapping, and Gene Manipulation; (2) Program in Molecular and Population Biology; (3) High Speed Digital Neural Networks; (4) Global Research Change: Integrating Observational and Modeling Approaches; (5) Fibers and Micromechanics of their Composites; (6) Materials Science at the University of South Carolina; (7) Innovation Through Chemical Synthesis: Novel Molecules and Materials; and (8) Industrial Mathematics Initiative. South Carolina EPSCoR has three major objectives to effect permanent improvements in the State's education and research environment. They are: faculty development, human resource development, and bridging of State/Industry/University S&E interests. Strategies include the addition of ten new faculty, six classified support staff, support for 40 graduate students per year, and expansion of the State EPSCoR Committee. The State of South Carolina, its institutions, and its private sector have contributed over $6 million in non-federal matching funds to this three year EPSCoR effort.
